Topic: removal of sacrifice branch (Read 3395 times)

I have a sacrifice branch on the top of a JBP that is starting to cause inverse taper. Can I remove it in a month or so?

Pine is probably 5-6 years old and was repotted in March. It is healthy and planted in a good mix of pumice and grit. I would like to wait a month to pump it up with a bit of fertilizer. Also, I have another sacrifice branch close to the base to take it's place.

Tree is about an 1-1/4 "and exisitng sacrifice is about 3/8" and about 12" long. (I know it should have been removed this winter.)
